From the Publisher:

The Pennsic Independent is a privately owned and operated publication. It is not a publication of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. or any of its affiliates. In the course of researching news stories, a number of sources are consulted and interviewed. The final determination of those stories published and of their content is made by the senior editorial staff and the publisher.

The Pennsic Independent and the Pennsic newspapers of the past have always had a mission of service to the attendees of Pennsic War, those who also serve the War in various capacities, and to the Known World in general. This service continues unabated by anyone in any way this year, and will for years to come.
